Offline Functionality of POSable
POSable is designed to continuously monitor the network status of each device on which it is installed. Whether connected via Wi-Fi, mobile data, or a wired Ethernet connection, the system assesses connectivity at all times.
When POSable detects an absence of network connection, it automatically transitions into offline mode. During this state, the application maintains full operational capacity, allowing users to perform all essential functions including logging in and out, processing cash, card, and split sales, printing receipts, and managing loyalty offers for customers.
There is no need for prior planning or manual adjustments to accommodate potential internet outages. POSable seamlessly switches between online and offline modes based on real-time connectivity status. Upon re-establishment of the network connection, the system automatically transitions back to online mode and synchronizes all data with the dashboard without user intervention.
Status Notifications
Messages will be prominently displayed at the bottom center of the application interface to inform users of the current operational status. These notifications will include indicators for ongoing synchronization processes, online status, and offline mode.
Online and Offline Indicators
- When the app is actively syncing data with the server, a message will appear indicating that synchronization is in progress.
- If the device is detected to be offline, a notification will inform the user of the offline status.
- Upon regaining connectivity and completing data synchronization, a confirmation message will be displayed, confirming that all data has been successfully synced.
Offline Mode Alerts
- When an offline condition is detected, users will be notified immediately.
- Once the system confirms that all pending data has been synchronized following reconnection, an additional message will confirm the completion of this process.
These notifications are designed to ensure continuous awareness of the application’s connectivity status and data integrity.
Offline Mode Licensing Requirement
In addition to the standard functionalities of offline mode, it is imperative to acknowledge a critical licensing restriction. The device must establish an internet connection at least once within a seven-day period. This requirement ensures ongoing compliance with licensing agreements and the continued operational status of the system.
